MUCHICHILI SAFARI HOUSE – WALKING SAFARIS

Experience the African bush in an up-close and intimate way when you set out on a walking safari through some of Southern Africa’s most beautiful wilderness. Breathing in the fresh air and stretching your legs are two very good reasons to set out on a walking safari, but the experience is so much more than that. A walking safari is a unique and intimate experience where you can be close to the ground, in nature, following the paths of the Kudu, Lion, or Zebra that may have walked in front of you just a few hours before.

A walking safari is something truly different. The thought of walking along the ground, away from the safety of your vehicle, seeing the footprints (spoor) of the animals in the ground next to your foot, makes your heart beat a little faster, makes you breathe a little heavier, and makes the African bush become all the more magical and wild. On foot your experienced ranger, with a gun in hand – which acts as a constant reminder that you are in fact out in the open bush – is able to teach you more about the intricacies of the bush, stopping to point out the small shrub next to you and explaining what it could be used for medicinally or to show you the tiniest tracks of a dung beetle or a chameleon in the sand. A walking safari allows you to experience the African bush with all of your senses. It allows you to feel the ground beneath you, to smell the scents given off by the trees and plants around you, and to hear the faint rustlings in the bush, rustling you would not have heard when crunching through the bush on the back of a safari vehicle.
